Re: an installation bug in either gcc, gld, or readline -- I don't know which

Enh, that was easy.  Yep, it's readline-4.2a/support/shobj-conf, which
emits the settings for building a shared library version of libreadline.
On a Solaris system, it assumes Sun's ld is used.

Dr. Koenig, I suspect the easiest way out of this mess is to disable shared
libraries while configuring readline.  If you need shared-lib functionality,
you'll have to twiddle that script before running configure instead.
Line 65, SHOBJ_LDFLAGS, is what you want... probably just removing the
-Wl,-i altogether, since I don't think GNU ld has an option meaning
"ignore LD_LIBRARY_PATH".
